8. The relief valve
A Requirements for inlet pipe layout
* The safety valve shall be installed in a vertical upward position. Otherwise, the consent of the manufacturer should be obtained.
* Safety valves should be installed as close as possible to the equipment or system being protected.
* The inlet pipe for installing the safety valve should be short and straight. The minimum cross-sectional area of the inlet pipe shall not be less than the cross-sectional area of the inlet of the safety valve. For high pressure and large displacement occasions, the inlet pipe at the entrance should be large enough rounded radius; Or it has a tapered channel whose entrance cross-sectional area is approximately twice the exit cross-sectional area.
* When the relief valve is discharged, the pressure drop in the inlet pipe, that is, between the protected equipment and the relief valve, should be as small as possible. In no CASE SHALL THE PRESSURE DROP EXCEED 3% OF the SETTING PRESSURE OR 1/3 OF THE GREATER ALLOWABLE opening/CLOSING PRESSURE difference, whichever IS LESS. If the pressure drops too much, the relief valve frequency will jump.
* The inlet pipe is generally provided with a CB bracket
* When the isolation valve is installed at the safety valve inlet, it should not violate the relevant provisions of laws or specifications.
* The safety valve should not be installed at the dead end of the long horizontal pipe section, so as to avoid accumulation of solid or liquid materials at the dead end, affecting the normal operation of the safety valve
B Discharge pipe layout requirements
* The cross-sectional area of the discharge pipe shall not be less than the cross-sectional area of the safety valve outlet. When MULTIPLE RELIEF VALVES DISCHARGE INTO A MAIN LINE, THE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF THE DISCHARGE LINE SHALL BE SUCH THAT THE TOTAL DISCHARGE FROM ALL RELIEF VALVES THAT MAY DISCHARGE INTO IT SIMULTANEOUSLY IS ACCEPTABLE.
* The discharge pipe is generally equipped with GL bracket
* Any conditions that could lead to obstruction of the discharge line should be prevented. If necessary, a drain hole should be provided to prevent rain, snow, condensate, etc. from accumulating in the drain pipe.
* The discharge and drain of the safety valve should be guided to a safe place. Special attention should be paid to the discharge and thinning of dangerous media.
* When the isolation valve is installed at the outlet of the safety valve, it should not violate the relevant provisions of laws or specifications.

Common valves in air conditioning water system common valves in air conditioning water system are butterfly valve, check valve, globe valve, ball valve, etc., the specific use of which valve, we need to first understand the central air conditioning water system. The water system of central air conditioning system includes cooling water system and chilled water/hot water system (generally single pipe, circulating frozen water in summer and hot water in winter). Air cooled or air cooled and heated pump type includes refrigerated/hot water system only.
Air conditioning water system commonly used valves are butterfly valve, check valve, globe valve, ball valve, etc., the specific use of which valve, we need to first understand the central air conditioning water system.
The water system of central air conditioning system includes cooling water system and chilled water/hot water system (generally single pipe, circulating frozen water in summer and hot water in winter). Air cooled or air cooled and heated pump type includes refrigerated/hot water system only. Circulating water system is an important part of central air conditioning system.
A typical central air-conditioning unit is mainly composed of three parts: chilled water circulation system, cooling water circulation system and main engine:
Chilled water circulation system
This part is composed of chilled pump, indoor fan and chilled water pipe. The low-temperature chilled water flowing from the evaporator of the host machine is pressurized into the chilled water pipe (outlet water) by the refrigerant pump, enters the room for heat exchange, takes away the heat in the room, and returns to the evaporator of the host machine (return water). The indoor fan is used to blow air through the chilled water pipe to reduce the air temperature and speed up indoor heat exchange.
Cooling water circulation section
This part is composed of cooling pump, cooling water pipe, cooling water tower, etc. Chilled water circulation system for indoor heat exchange at the same time, will take away a lot of indoor heat. The heat energy is transferred to the cooling water through the refrigerant in the main engine, so that the temperature of the cooling water rises. The cooling pump will heat up the cooling water pressure into the cooling water tower (water), so that it can exchange heat with the atmosphere, reduce the temperature and then return to the main engine condenser (return water).
The host
The main engine is composed of a compressor, evaporator, condenser and refrigerant (refrigerant). Its working cycle is as follows:
First, the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is pressurized by the compressor into the condenser and gradually condensed into a high-pressure liquid. In the process of condensation, the refrigerant will release a lot of heat energy, which is absorbed by the cooling water in the condenser and sent to the outdoor cooling tower, and eventually released into the atmosphere. Then when the high pressure liquid refrigerant in the condenser flows through the throttling and step-down device before the evaporator, it is vaporized because of the sudden change of pressure, forming a gas-liquid mixture and entering the evaporator. The refrigerant is constantly vaporized in the evaporator, and it will absorb the heat of the frozen water to make the frozen water reach a lower temperature. ***, the refrigerant in the evaporator after gasification becomes a low-pressure gas, re-enters the compressor, and so on.
The control valve used in the air conditioning water system is also known as the regulating valve, is in the pipeline system to adjust the liquid or gas flow control device. This adjustment is accomplished by changing the opening of the control valves connected in series to the piping system, thereby changing the fluid resistance.
The choice of control valve is of great significance to improve the stability of the system, prolong the service life of the control valve and save energy. Without the proper valve diameter, an automatically controlled variable water flow system will not operate at an effective level. Too large valve diameter will lead to bad control performance, may make the system shock or oscillation, and waste investment; Too small a valve diameter will require the system to provide a large pressure difference to maintain sufficient flow, so that the pump load heavier, while the valve is vulnerable to damage, and may not give the required capacity; Both will bring maintenance inconvenience and shorten the service life of the control valve.
From the above introduction, it can be concluded that the commonly used valves in the air conditioning water system are: manual butterfly valve, electric butterfly valve, anti-condensation butterfly valve, butterfly check valve, water level control valve, cut-off valve, etc. In addition, also need rubber soft connection, filter and other pipe accessories.
